OS (e.g. Win10): Win 10
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): 2021.2.3 ->2023.2.2
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: y
What are you trying to achieve?:
My lab downloaded the most recent version of psychopy to integrate with tobii eye tracker (we also kept the older version from 2021). This changed some features of data files in our experiments that were built using the older version of builder (e.g. adding brackets to data collected from mouse clicks). Trying to troubleshoot this, we opened one of the experiment files from the newer psychopy version, after which we could no longer get it to work.
We got errors related to cedrusBox component package failing to load and not having init.py. None of our experiments have a cedrus box component. This was followed by many warnings pertaining to unknown parameters (see below). Also, I want to mention that a new recently programmed experiment that was running fine on a laptop and got transferred to the desktop with a new version of psychopy also failed to run with the same error message. There is no cedrus component in that experiment either.
First experiment error:
NameError: name ‘instructions_2’ is not defined

What did you try to make it work?:
We tried changing the psychopy version in the Settings but to no avail.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:

!!! We have python 2 also running on that computer
Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated!!
